Question: explain how an igneous rock can change into a metamorphic rock.
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks when they are exposed to heat and pressure. This usually happens when the rock is buried deep within the Earth, as the layers of rock on top of it add weight and pressure, and the surrounding temperature increases. As the pressure and temperature increase, the minerals in the igneous rock begin to re-align, giving it a completely different chemical composition and appearance, forming a metamorphic rock.
